I felt a little bad for him at first until I read about the tattoos. He should suck it up because if he can get tattoos he can get stitches. All of that stuff is in his head anyway. He's just making it worse for himself. A point may come where he has an even more severe injury and there is no other option but stitches or shots. What will he do then, act like a bitch again? A grown man shouldn't be afraid of stuff like that. If small children with diabetes can get insulin shots everyday or whatever, he can man up about this.
